Abstract	Proper scaling of the flashboard as the UV source for a UV-sustained opening switch, is the key to controlling switch parameters such as voltage and current gain. This paper shows how simple but key geometrical factors affect the overall switch performance. The analysis is started by the experimental determination of the UV light angular distribution from a single gap. Experimental data from two different gap configurations shows the variation of UV light angular distribution for a spectral range of 190 nm to 1060 nm. Analysis of the data gives the maximum separation between adjacent gaps in order to keep a uniform photon distribution. This UV flux is followed through the screen electrode and into the discharge region to set the proper flashboard gap density. The Radial Opening Switch project was sponsored by the Air Force Weapons Laboratory and monitored by the United States Department of Defense, Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program.
